Alexander Pushkin: The Original Cat Lover!🐱 🔻Forget modern memes – Alexander Pushkin was the OG cat enthusiast! Turns out, Russia's great poet constantly doodled cats right in his rough drafts, manuscript margins, and letters. He intuitively knew their oxytocin power! 🔻His first feline sketch appeared in 1818, gracing Ruslan and Lyudmila drafts: a plump cat with pointed ears and a snake-like tail. These charming cat doodles reappeared often, almost like his whimsical signature. 🔻So, our endless awws and likes for cats aren't just trends. It seems the universal adoration for felines is a timeless cultural code, understood by Pushkin centuries ago! 🐾 #Pushkin #Russian_culture #RussianCulturalCode 😎RCR | Support | Boost

Russians don't smile without reason 🔻83% of Russians, according to the All-Russia Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM), consider themselves happy. However, there haven't been more smiles on the streets, and foreigners continue to perceive us as a gloomy and unfriendly nation. But we perfectly remember the proverb: Смех без причины - признак дурачины. (Laughter without reason is a sign of a fool). 🔻For a European person smiling upon meeting someone is a demonstration of politeness and goodwill towards the interlocutor. For Russians, however, "дежурная улыбка" ("a perfunctory smile") is not a desirable quality and is rather alarming. Russians rarely smile at strangers and are not always ready to reciprocate a smile. 🔻The uniqueness of the Russian smile lies in the fact that it must be sincere, have a valid reason understandable to those around, and be appropriate. Smiling for no reason is not accepted. 🔻Russians have their own smile, which in its mysteriousness is not inferior to the Mona Lisa's smile. Not strained, sincere, from the depths of our soul! #RussianCulturalCode #Russian_culture 😎 Stay with @learnRCRussian
